FLASH: RE: FLash file tends to crash browser on a some PC's running Wind ows NT

[Campbell, Clyde]

umm aaah...


To Tom, John and Jason...


So I've spent the last 3 days trying to sort out the problem with my little

.swf  file crashing on NT - I've removed all the Type1 fonts, changed all

the frame number targets to frame labels, included a preloader... the works

: It was still not working! When the page loads, the code automatically

generated by the Publish settings (Flash4) or Aftershock (Flash3), will

check to see if the Flash plug-in is installed.


The problem is this : If the user's browser already has the plug-in

installed, it carries on as normal, but because of some sort of Active X

control setting in the computer's (NT operating system) system registry, the

browser crashes.


Now when the person doesn't have the plug-in installed, and goes to the

macromedia website to install the plug-in, everything works just fine!! This

made me realise that there was something beyond the plug-in ro browser

causing the problem.


Then I found this file on my computer "InstallAXFlash.exe". When I ran this

file on the NT PC's who's browser's crashed -

Hey Presto! They did crash no more...
